Mounjuro August starters - thread 11

[Blondeshavemorefun]

My amazing auggies ladies 💖 - another thread and heading for 6mths in !!!

Be proud of us all.

We conquered our first Christmas and many of us sts or lost. Which is a first.

Those who gained it was 1-2lbs (minus the lady who ate her family and gained 18lbs) 😂😂 and the gain has come off

So to a new 2025 - some are getting near their goal and thinking about maintenance

Some still have a way to go to get to their happy weight

Some are on the highest dose of 15

Some are 5 and below

Everyone welcome

Still good to sts @owlyboo after your huge loss last week

think of it over the 4/5w of the pen and what you lose overall

Morning, just catching up as so many posts! I’ve lost 2lbs this week so now 10:10 3/4 so that’s full 4 stones since august 2nd. Generally lose 8lbs a month now although it was 7 for the month including Christmas.
I don’t expect the rate to continue as I get smaller and @Azuresky68 I imagine it being slow as you’ve got so little to lose now but maybe trying to have the odd day of higher calories to shake it up a bit which might help the loss.

Hi 😊 all the very best going forward. 💐

Hellooo and happy Saturday 😊
I've checked my Shotsy app and I've got 3mg in my system it says, I've definitely functioned much better yesterday and much more so today. Felt great on our walk and I was having a shimmy to music unconsciously this morning, anything under 4mg is fine anything above 4, even slightly and my mood dips, fatigued more than normal (M.E) and I procrastinate terribly 😂
So I'm going to keep checking the app and monitor how I feel physically and jab accordingly. I've 8lbs to get to goal and then my 4lbs window as a safety net.

I've eaten a lot of prunes the last few days and I'm super windy 💨💨💨 and my constipation is away thank god! I was going to give you TMI but better not lol. All I will say is i have a little plumbing issue at the moment which involves a whole bottle of bleach to dissolve an item hahaha.

@NippyNinjaCrab

that sounds like a great app. Where did you get it.

Well done @Slimhopes

@NippyNinjaCrab12lbs is def doable

Are you iPhone or android? It's available for iPhone now but still in beta for android me and mabelspan were testing it and got free membership but there's a free version as well. It's helped me a lot because I'm sensitive to MJ a wee wimp. Xx

@Blondeshavemorefun @owlyboo how are the bodies today?

I got these new inserts last week at podiatry and they change my gait to a point my muscles feel I've done a workout each walk. I'm walking so much better and not to the left lol.

Feel ok today thanks @NippyNinjaCrab

Just catching up - some great losses yesterday well done all!

@NippyNinjaCrab that app sounds really good.
I will look it up, wonder if it will help me with my symptoms if and when I start braving going above 2.5 again - I’m so nervous of a repeat of the side effects.

I went back to a ‘stretch and tone’ class last week which was manageable but I definitely felt it afterwards. This morning back to Pilates but bloody hell it was more challenging than any of the times I’ve been before - she really pushed us so I’m going to definitely feel that tomorrow.

DH has cooked a gorgeous curry this evening - delicious but there’s quite a few windy effects going on now!

I had to re-register due to MN weirdness. You'll never guess who I used to be.

Yes @Blondeshavemorefun that's how I'm thinking about it. When you're near the end you can't expect to lose much more than 1lb a week so when you lose 5 in one week I feel like I can just spread them out on the STS weeks 😂

Well done @Slimhopes

@NippyNinjaCrab legs feel much better today thankfully!

👋 everyone! Glad to hear so many still doing well. Well I reached my target weight and yesterday started moving down the doses 😳 I'd moved to Oushk and spoken about maintenance when them. I'm a bit scared about how I'll feel on a lower dose but fingers crossed I've learned enough not to jump back in unhealthy eating.

Well done @Ithinkimrincewind you must be so proud!!

I'm sure you've got this 💪

@owlyboo I am but also having some issues with not seeing myself as slimmer. I still feel the same so it comes as a bit of a shock, plus the melted candle look of losing 4.5 stone since August.
I'm still gonna be hanging out here taking in the advice and giggles from everyone going through the same

@Ithinkimrincewind I think if can be really tricky to see your new self. Have you treated yourself to new clothes? That can definitely help.

Hoping the loose skin will bounce back eventually. I've lost nearly 4 and a half (one pound off!) and I've been quite fortunate that I don't have massive amounts of loose skin but the tops of my thighs don't look ideal! But better to have that than be 4 and a half stone heavier!!!

Definitely stick around as will be great to hear about maintenance and how it's going!

@Ithinkimrincewind aw congratulations lady that's amazing! I read that it can take our brains a while to catch up and come to terms with having a new body, this is why we still feel fat. I'm not sure if it was on here with one of the wise posters, or was it the maintenance Oushk group, I think someone said on there too that Hira the pharmacist said something like that.
New clothes will help, also the skin will eventually come back, my thighs were weird looking but I've noticed this week they look not as melted lol. Hopefully our bodies will all balance out. Xx

@NippyNinjaCrab I figure I'm always gonna be covered up so would rather that than still be carrying the extra weight. The world can live without me flaunting my flabby bits 😂. Yeah I think all of us aren't seeing ourselves how others are yet. It's a process

Def still stay @Ithinkimrincewind

think we are all melted candle wax 😂

Congratulations @Ithinkimrincewind!

There's some right daft wallopers posting in the WLI section! The drama with side effects, not willing to listen to constructive advice, only been on it 4 days lol. Another has gained weight and not been on it a month ffs, carb heavy diet and wouldn't take any advice on board, stopped reading that one.
Jeez no wonder there's so much hoo ha with MJ at times with these muppets.
That's my wee rant for the week lol. Xxx

They think it’s magic

you still need to put the Effort in and eat less and more healthy

Haha, I read this thread. Stating she is eating 2000 calories a day and gaining weight, wouldn't listen to the fact maybe 2000 is too much and maybe she need to really look at the food she is eating.
I also gave up as the poster wasn't listening to any advice or any reasoning. I was amused to start with but quickly got bored.

Right daft wallopers 😆 So, so many!
I don't have the patience so can't post as that poster was not going to listen or change one thing. I dont know the reasons for that, I just know my compassion wanes rather rapidly so I steer clear!
I saw a post on Facebook recently that made me want to cry - this was someone sharing their 'getting ready for mj' food shop 😑
I am too old and grumpy for social media I have decided lol

We're never going to guess...

Morning, wtf with that trolley shop 🙄

DH sent me a link to a MOS article about the 46% increase of people being hospitalised due to "fat jabs"

I said do not send me any shit like this! The headline alone is enough to get me el rago 😤. Yes of course there will be people who have adverse effects, we've had it with our group alone, but i cak guarantee you a high % will be idiots who have bought injections from social media or a pal who's got a pal who can obtain half price. Arghhhh

Okay that's me had my angry Cruella moment and I'm back to wee Mary Poppins.
